Have you tried quinoa?! The ancient grain named “mother of all grains” by the Incas has been making quite an appearance in many popular blogs and cookbooks. If you are like me you might have a problem pronouncing “quinoa”. It took me a few tries before I was finally able to pronounce it correctly. I always remember “keen – wah”.
My personal favorite quinoa recipes are those that use the grain to make a burger. People who are trying quinoa for the first time will notice its strong bitter flavor. In the instance of the quinoa burger, the other ingredients in the burger offset this bitter flavor. Quinoa offers many nutritional benefits – not only does it contain a high level of protein, but is also rich in iron, phosphorus, and potassium.
This recipe is perfect for a snack, light meal, or even served as an appetizer. My goal for the quinoa recipe was to put a new twist on the “ancient grain”. The cucumber “bun” and yogurt dill sauce add a unique touch to a quinoa burger. The burgers are quite refreshing!
